+tabulator32 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Maybe someone who will hold your GPSr while you climb down to get FTF. Link to comment
+Semper Questio Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 It has been said by TPTB that this feature will be expanded in the future. With what, exactly, is still a mystery. Link to comment
+SwampFox4Christ Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 What do you get when you add a friend? Other than the quick link to their profile? I guess it depends who your friends are too, all my friends get a handshake or a hug, you've been warned Link to comment
+trainlove Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Some of the suggested used for the My Friends un-feature have been: 1. As a way for caching teams to consolidate information and plan caching trips to caches that all of that party have not visited before. Check the forum postings about violations of the Terms Of Use... 2. As just another way to numbers grub, if a number of how many friends you have is made available somewhere on the web site, perhaps in that stats box. 3. I can't think of anything else, but then again I do not work for Groundspeak. Link to comment
+Jardry Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Even if your "friends" don't accept your request you can still check the other tab to quickly go to their link, so at the moment it seems its nothing more than a bookmarking service. Jardry Link to comment
+DocDiTTo Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I thought I'd read somewhere about the possibility to "watch" your friends, so when they log a find you'd get an email, similar to the way you watch a cache. Whether or not that feature is actually on the list is unknown to me. Link to comment

Whether or not that feature is actually on the list is unknown to me. Sounds to me like something I would not want. I get enough spam already and lots of emails from 'My Friends' who do 45 caches a day on a Saturday and 45 more on Sunday each and every week would make me take that person off my friends list.

I'd imagine that any "watch" feature that might be implemented would be optional. Lots of people wouldn't want to watch others, and some wouldn't want to be watched. Others wouldn't care either way.

Lots of people wouldn't want to watch others, and some wouldn't want to be watched. Others wouldn't care either way. Of course it would be optional. But I'm thinking that absolutely nobody would opt in to getting 100 or 200 more emails a day depending on your friends and so on. Link to comment

But I'm thinking that absolutely nobody would opt in to getting 100 or 200 more emails a day depending on your friends and so on. They could do a 'daily digest' with a summary of each friends activity. If you have a 100 find a day friend, maybe you wouldn't want their summary... I think it'd be neat to be able to see their 'other' logs, like DNF's and trackables. They could just have a summary list like there is on everyone's "My Account" page, but for your friends' accounts instead. Link to comment
